I’ll throw my hat too regarding OP, I’ve been thinking about WB’s words, Roger laughing and the WG fearing the name of the Ancient Kingdom.
As said by the revolutionaries themselves, the enemy is the CDs and the WG, rather than the Marines, so something that shakes the system has to be connected to it.
There’s lots of people theorising that the Ancient Kingdom will be inspired by the mythical Libertalia, land of the pirates, but I’d like to go the inverse for it all to make sense, the WG feared even the utterance of this name, so even the name holds importance to its meaning. What reasoning could the name Libertalia/Kingdom of Pirates incite in the minds of normal citizens when they’re victims of pirates themselves engorging in their freedom?
So, I believe that the name of the Ancient Kingdom will be something stupid like “not-pirate kingdom”, and it will be composed of people that either never participated in piracy, or quit and decided to go clean, repenting for their crimes and so on, this Kingdom was considered special/strange by all the others, (hence the name, who would incite intrigue in the minds of modern citizens, as it makes the concept of a Kingdom not run by pirates the exception, rather than the standard)because all other kingdoms, were pirates kingdoms, in the same vein of Kaidou’s Onigashima/New Wano if he were to win against Luffy, Linlin’s Whole Cake, Blackbeard’s Hachinosu (?) and so on.
This Kingdom amassed a great deal of strength and became a threat to pirates, so, the 20 Ancient (Pirate) Kings allied to remove this great obstacle, and once they did, declared themselves as Gods, and the rest, is history.
I’d argue Roger found riches and information about what happened to the Ancient Kingdom, when he found One Piece in Laugh Tale.
Roger was laughing at how the tables have turned, about how the WGs, who’s hunting them down because they’re pirates, are basically pirates, how they went to search, as pirates, a treasure of a Kingdom destroyed by pirates, and cherry on top, he got the title of “Pirate King”, a legacy title of the very same Celestial Dragons, and an excuse for Oda to put the title of King above “Emperor”, as it’s historically false. Of course, the reason Whitebeard said it would cause a great change, is because neither marines, nor normal Countries under WG would stand any longer about having to deal with lazy pirate heirs doing whatever they want, the Marines will be forced to depose them and re-organize its structure.
